WhatsApp is an entry channel
A customer can ask a question, choose a product or confirm an order in WhatsApp. The commercial state does not need to stay trapped in the thread.
WhatsApp commerce · Use case
Turn WhatsApp conversations into structured commerce — without making WhatsApp your backend.
Trakoli Commerce can manage orders that start on WhatsApp alongside storefront, POS and manual sales. The channels share products, inventory, customers, payment status and fulfillment instead of creating separate operational silos.

What WhatsApp commerce means in Trakoli
The order becomes structured
Product, variant, quantity, price, customer, payment status and fulfillment status are recorded as commerce data that can be followed outside the chat.
The same inventory serves other channels
A WhatsApp-originated order uses the same products and inventory as storefront, POS and manual orders, so the merchant does not need a separate stock ledger for messaging sales.

WhatsApp commerce is not the whole operating system
Trakoli is not a WhatsApp-only platform and does not treat WhatsApp as the database for the business. WhatsApp is one important conversational channel. The operating system remains shared across conversations, storefront, POS and manual sales.

Where Trakoli fits
Trakoli is a conversational commerce platform and, more specifically, a conversation-led commerce operating system. It connects conversational selling to the operational records a merchant needs after the message: products, inventory, orders, payments, fulfillment and customer history.
Frequently asked questions
Is Trakoli only for WhatsApp?
No. WhatsApp is an important conversation channel, but Trakoli also supports sales that begin in storefront, POS and manual orders while using the same commerce state.
Can WhatsApp orders share inventory with storefront orders?
Yes. The model is designed so WhatsApp-originated orders and storefront orders use the same products and inventory instead of separate stock records.
Does WhatsApp commerce require AI?
No. Core can be operated manually. Assisted and Automation add different levels of Naya support and governed execution.
Does Trakoli sell WhatsApp messages or price plans by message volume?
No. Trakoli publishes subscription plans based on processed-order allowances; WhatsApp provider charges or rules are separate third-party considerations where applicable.
